Inspiration

Everyone has someone from whom they draw inspiration . The person who inspires me is someone named Gürkan . He is 25 years old and has been diagnosed with ALS . He can ’ t move his muscles , can ’ t speak , and can ’ t even swallow .
As a result , a tube was inserted into his stomach to provide the necessary nutrition . Fortunately , when the disease was first diagnosed , they installed an eye-tracking device on a computer , allowing him to use the computer with just his eyes . After that , he found himself spending the whole day in front of the computer .
When he got bored , he started making YouTube videos . He played games in live broadcasts and even developed his own game — all with just his eyes . He has his own YouTube channel called “ Yerli ve Milli Hawking .”
After seeing this man , I felt incredibly inspired . I have two hands , legs , and functioning joints . I can move . If this man can do all these things , I can achieve so much more .
